United States Steel Corporation and its subsidiary, U. S. Steel Tubular
Products Inc., have announced that its United Steelworkers-represented
employees have ratified new three-year collective bargaining agreements.

According to a statement released on Friday, one agreement covers
approximately 16,000 employees at U.S. Steel’s domestic flat-rolled and iron
ore mining facilities as well as tubular operations in Lorain, Ohio, and
Fairfield, Ala.

“U.S. Steel is pleased with the outcome of the ratification vote,” USS Chair
and CEO John Surma said. “We believe that this newly approved and
competitive three-year agreement is in the best interests of our company,
our employees and all of our stakeholders.”

The agreements also provide for certain benefit adjustments for current and
future retirees and modifications to the profit sharing plan beginning in
2013.

Financial impacts of the new agreements will be reflected beginning in the
third quarter 2012 financial statements, including a pre-tax charge of
approximately $35 million for the lump sum payment that will be made by Oct.
15.
